Chapter 3162: Battling the Phoenix

However, the fusion this time was not as successful as prior times. Before the twin swords in Jian Chen's hands had even fused together properly, he began to shake uncontrollably. Only their glow had come into contact with each other.

Perhaps it was because the sword spirits had recovered substantially in the land of Yin and Yang, coupled with the fact that they now had medium quality god artifact bodies, that the backlash from the fusion process was even greater than he had imagined it to be.

Now, just the contact between the glow of the two swords made Jian Chen feel an undefiable, destructive power slam against his body. His organs immediately surged, tossing and turning violently.

Jian Chen's face changed drastically as his heart sank. Even though he understood the backlash from fusing the swords had grown stronger because the twin swords were stronger than before, he never expected it to be so terrifying.

Merely the contact from the glow of the swords made him struggle so much, so once they had truly fused, how great would the backlash be?

Jian Chen was basically too afraid to imagine it.

After all, he had a Chaotic Body at the sixteenth layer right now, not the fifteenth layer like before!

"So be it. As long as I don't die from the backlash, I have to complete the fusion and kill the phoenix no matter what the price is!" Jian Chen thought viciously. Determination flooded his eyes as if he had gone crazy. He poured all of his strength into fusing the swords.

At that moment, he was overcome with a spirit that even cast the thought of death aside, as he knew that Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess could restrain the phoenix, but they could not kill it.

The only way to kill the phoenix and obtain the fortunes that came with the Heaven-splitting Divine Force was to fuse the swords.

At that instant, violet and azure light bloomed in the surroundings. The Xuanhuang Microcosm had already lost all of its original colours. The divine swords hovered in the surroundings as if they had become the only objects in the world.

Afterwards, the divine swords began to merge together slowly.

Immediately, the violet and azure light that filled the surroundings vanished. The entire Xuanhuang Microcosm dimmed.

Within the darkness, a colossal power that could destroy the world suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

That was the Chaotic Force produced after the twin swords had fused together!

It was all Chaotic Force, but the Chaotic Force this time was even more terrifying than any of the times in the past!

Spurt!

Blood sprayed from Jian Chen's mouth. He instantly turned pale as his entire body shook violently.

The moment the swords fused together, he experienced a terrifying backlash, more intense than ever before. Even with his Chaotic Body that had already reached the sixteenth layer, he struggled to withstand it.

The organs in his body had already been obliterated. All of his meridians had been severed. A terrifying force pushed against his body, cracking it. Chaotic blood even turned into tiny streams and sprayed out from his pores.

Jian Chen's eyes had already become blood-red as if his head had been filled with blood. Blood accumulated in his eyes, basically about to drip out.

Jian Chen shook violently. Suddenly, he let out a furious roar and completely unleashed all of the potential in his body. He pushed the Chaotic Body to its limit, holding on with everything that he had.

Even though the twin swords had already completed the basic fusion, he did not launch an attack. He still required time to charge up.

In the distance, the golden phoenix locked in combat against Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess also looked over to Jian Chen's direction suddenly.

More accurately, it stared at the Chaotic Force the twin swords had produced after fusing together. A shred of fear clearly appeared in its turbid eyes devoid of any intelligence.

Out of its instincts, it sensed a terrifying power that brought it fear and fright.

The power was so great that it already experienced a threat to its life!

The phoenix let out a sharp cry, immediately abandoning Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess. It flew towards Jian Chen without any hesitation.

Boom! Boom!

Great rumbles rang out from the phoenix's body as terrifying energy exploded. Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess used this opportunity to add a few vicious wounds to its body.

However, the phoenix completely disregarded that. It would rather suffer a few more wounds than spend even an additional second on Mo Tianyun or the Rain Abbess, approaching Jian Chen as quickly as it could.

But at this moment, the ways pulsed and space changed. The phoenix actually moved slower and slower. The distance between it and Jian Chen seemed to be indefinitely extended.

The Rain Abbess had abruptly appeared before the phoenix, giving off the surging presence of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. She struck valiantly, obstructing the phoenix's path.

At the same time, Mo Tianyun also appeared above the phoenix's head. He was wrapped in the power of slaughter that turned into a spear, thrusting down with lightning speed.

Immediately, among the booms, great chunks of the golden phoenix's flesh exploded. Many heart-stopping wounds appeared, every single one a frightening sight to behold.

However, as a creature with an undying body, none of these wounds were severe to it. All of the injuries across its body healed at a visible pace. The missing flesh regrew as well.

It was as if it could immediately recover regardless of how heavy the wounds it suffered from Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess were. It was completely unkillable.

By now, fifteen seconds had already passed since Jian Chen began fusing the swords, but they still had not finished charging up. They were still building up strength.

Jian Chen trembled more and more violently, bleeding from all the openings in his head. His face was pale-white, without a single shred of blood left.

As he fused the swords, each additional second of charging up would lead to an even more severe backlash to endure.

To the other side, the phoenix darted around, but it was unable to navigate around Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess. Even though it possessed an absolute strength, it did not possess too great of an advantage compared to Mo Tianyun and the Rain Abbess who could use a fraction of their laws.

In the distance, the sense of danger from the fusing swords grew more and more intense. It left it feeling more and more uneasy.

Suddenly, the phoenix turned around, actually abandoning the battle and directly flying off into the distance.

It was clearly very afraid of the Chaotic Force created when the swords fused.

However, the Rain Abbess had prepared for its escape a long time ago. Space changed as the Rain Abbess immediately appeared in front of the phoenix.

With her in front and Mo Tianyun behind, they basically unleashed everything that they were capable of, keeping the phoenix busy and trapping it in an encirclement.

By now, thirty seconds had already passed since Jian Chen began charging up. It was also at this moment that a colossal pressure descended from above, locking onto the phoenix immediately.

The pressure came with a restraining force. As soon as it descended upon the phoenix, it sank obviously.

But in a split second, the phoenix broke free from the restraining force effortlessly. With the twin swords' current level of quality, no matter how great they were, it was impossible for them to trap an Eighth or Ninth Heavenly Layer phoenix properly.
